YOUR BUSINESS. YOUR NEXT CHAPTER.
Built your way.
Sold with a plan.
A buyer’s questions change with the business. Start with the records, relationships and operating details that matter in your industry, then discuss a sale plan around your goals.
Start a confidential conversationFOR THE BUSINESS YOU’VE BUILT
Different businesses.
The same personal care.
Trades, service companies, restaurants and established operations. Explore the questions that matter when it is your business on the table.
HVAC
Selling an HVAC business starts with showing how service calls, installations and maintenance agreements produce earnings—and how that work will continue when you step back.
Electrical
Selling an electrical contracting business starts with evidence that profitable work, technical leadership and customer relationships can continue beyond the owner. Make the awarded work and the people responsible for it clear before discussing a price.
Plumbing
A plumbing business is more than trucks and tools. A useful sale presentation explains where the work comes from, who delivers it and what a buyer needs to maintain service after the owner leaves.
Fire protection & life safety
For fire alarm, sprinkler, suppression and related life-safety businesses, explain what is inspected, repaired and monitored, and who is responsible for the work. Separate the services your team delivers from those performed by outside specialists.
Manufacturing
A manufacturing sale connects financial performance to the shop floor. Explain what is produced, which customers rely on it and what an incoming owner would need to keep quality and delivery consistent.
Industrial distribution
For distributors of industrial components, tools, consumables and equipment, connect supplier access, stock availability and account relationships to earnings. Product resale differs from manufacturing, even when you also provide assembly or technical support.
Property restoration
For water, fire and other property-damage restoration businesses, explain who authorises work, who pays, how scope changes and how the team responds. Separate emergency mitigation, reconstruction and specialist subcontracted services.
Hydrovac
Preparing to sell a hydrovac business means connecting the fleet story to the earnings story: which units earn revenue, how they are maintained, and which people and customer relationships keep them working.
Industrial maintenance & automation
For maintenance contractors, automation integrators and technical field-service firms, show how expertise becomes deliverable work. This guidance focuses on services and integration; businesses primarily producing products should also review the manufacturing page.
Commercial roofing
For commercial reroofing, new-construction and roof-maintenance contractors, separate project earnings from repair relationships. Buyers need to understand the crew capacity, material commitments and warranty exposure behind the order book.
Waste & recycling
For collection operators, recycling processors and material-handling businesses, explain which activities create margin and which dependencies a buyer must resolve. Identify the actual materials and locations served; different waste streams are not interchangeable.
Equipment rental
For general and specialist equipment rental operators, connect the fleet register with rental earnings and cash needed to maintain service. Equipment replacement cost is not the same as the value of an operating rental company.
Managed IT services
For managed service providers and outsourced IT support businesses, explain the obligations behind monthly invoices. Separate support, security services, projects, hardware and licence resale so retention and delivery costs can be assessed together.
Testing, inspection & environmental consulting
For technical testing, industrial inspection and environmental consulting firms, clarify the professional work and its obligations. This page covers technical and environmental services; fire-system inspection and life-safety work belong on the separate fire protection page.
Commercial landscaping & snow removal
For commercial grounds maintenance, landscape installation and snow-removal companies, show how each season supports the operation. Separate site service from installation projects and explain how pricing allocates weather and workload risk.
Specialized trucking & logistics
For specialized carriers and logistics operators, distinguish owned-fleet transport, brokered work and related services. Explain the actual cargo, lanes and customer base rather than implying that every load is repeat contracted business.
Commercial cleaning
For janitorial and specialist commercial cleaning firms, show how contracts become staffed, supervised and profitable site service. Separate regular cleaning from periodic projects, and distinguish work performed internally from specialist subcontracting.
Construction
Selling a construction company requires more than presenting last year’s revenue. A buyer needs to understand live projects, the quality of backlog and the team responsible for completing the work. This includes general contracting and civil or site-services businesses; separate each operating activity in your records.
Painting
When selling a painting business, make it clear how leads become profitable jobs—and how estimating, crews and customer relationships can continue under a new owner.
Restaurants & cafés
A restaurant sale needs a clear picture of both the operation and the premises. Start with supported earnings, the lease, the team and the practical steps a new owner would need to continue trading.
